Billy Ruane Memorial Birthday Bash
Middle East Downstairs
Cambridge, Massachusetts
November 17, 2010

Core Sound Binaural mics > Edirol R-09 from about 10 feet from center stage.

It turned out that I had an intermittent mic connection problem; edited out some of the more egregious noise but there are clicks and pops here and there. A particularly nasty patch during Lady Lamb's last song, "Beluga," natch. It was an incredibly moving show and I feel honored to have been in the audience.
